Well, not sure how one could be confident in GB this week given that they're facing John Elway, Terrell Davis, Shannon Sharpe, Rod Smith and a stoudt Denver defense. My prediction: Broncos beat Packers 31-24....Should be a heckuva game.....this Sat. night in my living room :lol: ...Given the NFL wasteland we've become here in Mile High land, watching parts of that game again will warm my soul...And fire me up for SB Sunday, which has the cast and makings to be legendary. I've really got nothin' else to add to the astute analyses posted above, except to say the only thing that would make Packers v. Steelers better for me would be if Vince Lombardi and Chuck Noll were roaming the sidelines. O/w, can't get anymore old skool then matching up these two franchises.

 

That was a heckuva game, didn't quite go the way I wanted, but still very good. It was somewhat easier to handle since they won the year before.

 

As for this Sunday, I couldn't agree more.

Sunday night just needs to get here NOW!

I've had friends from different parts of the world tell me they are staying up to watch this matchup even though the game starts for them at <insert random world time>!

A buddy from Switzerland told me he is taking off Monday because the game starts at midnight over there but he won't miss this!

The Packer haters (Vikings, Bears fans, Urlacher, etc) are looking forward to rooting for Pittsburgh, the Rothlesburger haters and Steeler haters (Ravens and Jets fans) are looking forward to a Packer victory!

The Packers are favored, but everywhere I listen the radio guys are picking Pittsburgh by 3-4 points! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?

.......sorry, I just blacked out for a few minutes, I'm back. I can't wait.

Yeah, even people around here who aren't fans of either team or who don't really passionately dislike any of the involved players seem stoked for this game. In part, I think, b/c the teams are so evenly matched. Personally, I disliked Big Ben for awhile, prob. due to his perceived arrogance, legal issues, and yes, the fact he completely outplayed Jake Plummer in Pitt's '05 AFC Championship win over Denver. But, over time I've come to at least appreciate his success- w/all his wins, incl. SBs, it's kind of incredible that he's still often overshadowed by the likes of Brady and Manning....My paternal grandfather and his siblings are all from WI, so I might have a little bias toward GB. Not to mention that I had one rip-roarin' weekend in Mad-"town"-ison, WI back in college :bananamac: , so yeah, come to think of it, I guess I prob. should root for GB this Sunday :lol:

Well Jeffrey, looks like the Steelers rolled over so GB could be champs.

 

Man it just pains me when a good team plays like poop... I told you they scare me when they play, its either destroy the opponent or play catch up. Oh well.

 

21 points off of turnovers and GB still only wins by 6.

 

 

Anyway congrats to GB on their victory and of course the same to you Jeff. :tumbsup:

Okay, can someone break it down for the (lazy) foreigner. Does that last post mean Jeff's team won? So he gets the stash of CDs? If so, will we get to see which ones the vitor selects? :lol: Whoever lost this, I feel for ya! ;)

Are you a "(lazy) foreigner" or just tired from buying all those Retrospect CDs..?

 

Anyway... Jeff's team did win... and it was great. Jeff is now rewarded with a pile of CDs compliments of Terry. I agree.. these choices should be made public.

 

Congrats Jeff... :drink:

Wow, what a game, thanks on the congrats everyone! I am hungover, mentally drained, exhausted.

 

Terry, I think the only thing I would disagree with what you said is you saying "Pittsburgh rolled over so GB could be champs". I always thought Green Bay matched up very well with Pittsburgh, played physical like Pittsburgh does and in the end it wasn't like Pittsburgh wasn't trying...heck between the end of the 2nd half and beginning of the 4th quarter, Pittsburgh dominated that game. GB I thought dominated most of the first half and the 4th quarter. Really, our receivers dropped so many passes, one of them a sure touchdown, and arguably our best defensive player gets hurt it could have been a different score. In the end it wasn't about rolling over, but GB made just a few more plays than Pittsburgh.

 

As for the CD's, that is up to Terry on posting them, I am fine with it. Terry, I'll just need the list, but take your time...I understand the next few days you won't be in the mood to deal with it...at least I know I wouldn't be, I get to mentally involved. Within the hour I am making the journey across Wisconsin to Green Bay for the Return To Titletown Party so I won't be back on the board until tomorrow night or Wednesday sometime anway.

Boy am I hungoverfrom last night.

 

Congrats Jeff, I thought The Steelers never hit their stride and just weren't consistent enough - hugely disappointing. On the plus side, one of my mates gave me an official terrible towel from Superbowl XL. Which was very cool of him!

 

Uh my head!!!!!

you can't turn the ball over 3 times and let it result in 21 points and expect to beat a good team. BUT the Steelers pulled to within 3 points. I thought we had a great chance of winning the game in the end. I can't understand why we didn't run Wallace down the sidelines on some Go's trying to see if we could hit the big one. I know he could outrun everyone on that D and Ben could heave it down there.

to make matters a little easier, if GB was playing anyone besides the Steelers (minus the Chiefs, Thomas Jones is a hometown boy)(Heath Miller is close enough to be a hometown boy and was an All-State High School QB) I'd pulled for Rodgers and the Packers.

    • Looks like I've got a bit of catching up to do. I've been absent from the forums, and mostly listening to the classics. 
    • It's not a lack of response, it's an actively negative response. They appear to be blocking people and other organisations from sending aid. Really strange. 
    • Glad you're okay, @whiplash1972. I can't imagine what that must be like.
    • If you go to the "edit song details" menu, you can edit the displayed lyrics ( handy to get rid of ugly brackets and prompts ), change the song title and change the thumbnail image.  You'd be able to do that to your tracks as well I think. Create a playlist for each of your albums and use your album covers as the images for your playlists.  They present pretty well on suno. The below link is for my playlist.    As for the vocals, I don't mind having female vocals on some of my tracks. As you mentioned earlier, I have absolutely no musical expertise whatsoever when it comes to instruments and I cannot sing for shit. I sort of think that it's like someone writing a song and then giving it to an Artist, Male or female, to interpret it musically. Think Desmond Child writing for Bon Jovi and also Joan Jett, or great songs by Jeff Paris being recorded by Vixen. Am I comparing myself to Desmond Child and Jeff Paris when it comes to songwriting talent? Hmmm... yes,  I think so.       https://suno.com/playlist/1581a017-9d55-4b0f-8ea8-555aa5b11d00
    • Good safe and well with the footage I've seen on news here in Australia it must be scary.
    • I can tell you that at the very least, there are people from FEMA working with some of the local businesses (my employer included) as far as looking at what aid is available to them. On the flip side, I've heard that one of the FEMA directors "got an attitude" with a few folks in the Asheville area and got popped in the mouth. I can't confirm that, just a story that's making the rounds. 
    • Glad you and yours are ok Mike. There's been a lot of buzz on social media about the LACK of response from FEMA and the current admin. Have you seen or heard anything on the ground one way or the other?
    • Not sure if anyone has noticed my absence over the last 10 days, but I've only been able to sign in a few times from work over the course of that period. As some of you may know, on Friday, September 27th, Hurricane Helene slammed into western North Carolina and absolutely devastated this area, leveling entire towns in its path. In my 52 years on this planet, I've never seen destruction like this with my own eyes.  While my home and property were spared any major problems, our road looked like a damn warzone with all the trees and powerlines down. We were literally trapped like rats in a maze for several days, as even though some good samaritans were able to cut their way through the downed trees so we could leave the neighborhood, all roads leading out of this area were closed off, either due to trees and lines down, or due to flooding.   I was out of work for six days, as my employer had no power. We had no power here at the house for 9 days, with it being restored late yesterday evening. We lost several hundred dollars worth of food that thawed out from our fridge and freezers. No hot water after day one, no cell signal for several days, no stores or restaurants open for several days... If it sounds like I'm complaining, I assure you, I am not. I am grateful. My family and friends are blessed, as we're all pretty much back up and running now. While there was some severe flooding here in Morganton just around two miles from my house, overall, it was MILD around here. Once you drive a mere 20 miles up the road to a little town called Old Fort in McDowell County, and everything west from there, it is exponentially worse. Huge chunks of Asheville under water, Chimney Rock literally wiped off the map, Spruce Pine damn near wiped away, small towns with no communication to the outside world with people struggling. It is BAD here in Western NC, and it's going to take a LONG time for things to get back to some semblance of normal for ALOT of people.  I just felt the need to post and let anyone who might have noticed I was MIA that I am fine, but that alot of good people are not. Please keep western North Carolina in your thoughts and prayers, and if that's not your thing, drink one for all of us tonight. Here are a few links that I've shared over the last week on FB that show the devastation around here... https://fb.watch/v331QebVRJ/ https://www.facebook.com/100067755911039/videos/1069274148086583/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ER9b6tv8oj84QuWb/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9MpnKZUAx4m5oy3y/ All these aerial shots are from around 1-2 miles from my house: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/vux5WpAqeMDcNMhS/ https://fb.watch/v33x13dnTf/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/V6RPz7HiiMhrBsfn/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvEuMCm7We6fitZ9/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/jE1utxkfNLeKEM9S/ Park Rangers in Chimney Rock managed to get the flag raised up again...  
    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.
